I'm just shocked that such great cars can get into the hands of these people who just don't seem to have a grasp of how to use them properly!! Am I right or should I just shut up!?

Ok ok thought you'd all get what I meant! I just think that the way he changes down is awful! There is no blip of the throttle and if you're going to own such a car, you would have thought you'd drive it appropriately, not as if you are some learner!!??

Ben great clip of Roger! I see its you directly in front. thank-god I made it on to the list for Spa!! Soooo looking forward to racing there again.

I cant see the other clip (work banned), is a spin due to a poor downshift in a caterham?

Nice Spa clip - looking forward to 65 of us going through Eau rouge on lap 1 yikes

Probably a pointless idea but if you can get Hugh's wheels to near Portsmouth/Southampton before I leave on the Thursday before Pembrey I'll take them the rest of the way.

I still don't get the point of this thread though confused

Hi mafioso,

It's my car. This little video was taken by october of 2006 when I bought the car. At this time, it had a problem in gear box. The 1-2 and 3-4 synchos was broken and the 5th gear of the Quaife straight cut gearbox of my JPE was very used. Is it why the downsift from 5 to 4 needed to be done very slow and with an excessive use of the clutch (please excuse my poor french, I'm a frenchie). Now, I had this gearbox repared and it's correct now.

Just have a look at this new video (76 Mo, 22 min) :
http://caterham.jpe.free.fr/20070324l (it's better to save it on your HD before to view it)

And please, keep cool because during this video, the gear-box was in grinding.

If you want to learn more about this car, you can bring a good beer and then have a look at http://caterham.jpe.free.fr

Hope you are now in peace, mafioso. biglaugh

Even with a dodgy gearbox, a Seven is the mutt's nuts.

Cuzza - thanks for the offer. I think Ben and I have worked something out! I've been promising to come and see his business for ages, now I have the reason!

See you all at Pembrey.

No probs - see you at Pembrey.

Tip for finding Bens place, when you think you've definitely gone wrong and are about to bump into a grumpy game keeper complete with shotgun, keep going

PS - Ben, you're in circuit driver this month.......
